Pass a federal abortion rights guarantee
Ah, like the democrats were talking about in 2019. My understanding was that the biggest hurdle there is that its already codified in federal law that federal money cannot be spent on abortion initiatives (Hyde Amendment maybe?) meaning that it'd take several administrations worth of changes to federal law to even get to step 1.
But fair enough, possible on paper at least.

Federal law overrides state law? Pass a federal abortion rights guarantee - codify roe vs Wade into federal law. Of course, they’d need to abolish the filibuster to get something like that through the senate, and they are spineless in the face of Republican radicalism, so guess the women of Texas (and every other Republican state that is about to follow suit if they haven’t already) are just going to have to suck it up.
Other option is expand the Supreme Court, but again, see above.
